Cristiano Ronaldo woke up with three blondes on Euro 2016 final day

Scoring goals

Everybody knows Ronaldo has mad skills on the field. But one look at his muscles hints he doesn’t fair too badly off the field either. Flashback to Irina Shayk.

The Real Madrid striker revealed that he was under a lot of stress going into the European Championship in July. The 31-year-old helped the side to the Euro 2016 final but was forced off the field early in the tie after picking up a knee injury off a Dimitri Payet challenge.

But he’s obviously feeling pretty good about it now. Talking to France Football, Cristiano confessed, “On the day of the final of the Euros, I woke up with three blondes in my bed. No seriously, I woke up aware that it was a special day, that we were going to play the final of the Euros in France against France, but I still slept eight hours.”

Whether he was joking about his pre Euro match prep or not, there’s little skepticism when it comes to Ronaldo’s skill set. “I always sleep well. I never dream about football,” he said.
